This "award" goes down in the Annals of Human Stupidity right next to Al Gore's one for promulgating the human-caused global warming hoax.

MAN, we, the human race, are getting stupider and more gullible with each passing year.

F8ck Alfred Nobel and his persistent-anti-TNT-guilt-trip Peace Prize. It's the most stupid, irrelevant, political, and pointless of the Nobel prizes, and they continue to prove how stupid it is with each passing year! This prize is NOT supposed to be about politics!

I'm not nearly the rabid anti-Obama fanatic that most of this board is (I actually voted for Nader), but I have to admit, I don't have a good grasp on why he won. Relative to other winners, he's very young and at an early stage in his career (read: I don't really see that he's DONE anything to warrant it yet). I actually think, with his attitude and speaking style, he's probably likely to accomplish some of the things that would make him a contender, but now? Seems way premature.

 

[coprolalia]

Premature? No. It is quite expected and continues to prove what a completely politically-motivated thing this is. There's no other way to call it, and it has now been completely proven to me: this particular award is a complete joke!

Now, the award in science for determining the structure of bacterial ribosome via x-ray crystallography... that was deserved. The award winner described the impact of this finding by saying this: "Imagine you were staring at a ditch your whole life, and suddenly you see the Grand Canyon for the first time." This work was the culmination of decades of research and painstaking assembly of difficult to obtain methodological breakthroughs that will further advance science and may actually yield new antimicrobial targets.

Now, contrast that with a would-be neophyte who came onto the political scene in 2004, has offered nothing but a lot of empty soundbites, hasn't really accomplished anything meaningful in his first 9 months in office, is still involved in two wars in the Middle East, and has been unable to successfully deal with a nuclear Iran threatening to blow-up Israel.

Juxtapose those two things.

I'm telling you, this Nobel Peace Prize bullsh*t is a F**KING JOKE! It is pure global politicking. Nothing more. And, the Nobel prize should have absolutely nothing to do with politics. Period.

You know that you read SDN too much when the first think you think of when you hear that Obama won the Nobel is, "Holy cow. Cop's gonna **** a brick."

That said, I agree it's pretty pathetic. I mean, he was nominated when he'd been in office 2 weeks. Give me a break. It's obviously just a European slap in the face to Bush.

 

[IDBasco]

LOL! No surprise. What a joke.

On edit- He had to be nominated within 10 days of becoming president. Makes this even more silly.

I'm telling you, these c0cksuckers would like NOTHING MORE than to turn the U.S. into Europe. When that happens, they will bury us economically.

Asked why the prize had been awarded to Mr Obama less than a year after he took office, Nobel committee head Thorbjoern Jagland said: "It was because we would like to support what he is trying to achieve".

"It is a clear signal that we want to advocate the same as he has done," he said.

http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/mehdi-hasan/2009/10/nobel-peace-prize-obama

Just so you understand, boys and girls, what happened here: the Nobel Peace Prize has a clear pro-active political agenda. They are meddling in world politics.

I think the ironic think is that he won the prize for trying to promote 'peace' in the middle east and attempting to bring the radical terrorists to the table.

However.....just recently, he's contemplating deploying 20,000 more troops......

 

[racerx]

When I heard this, I came straight here to see what the buzz would be.

If Nobama had any sense of propriety, he'd decline it. However, knowing that he and his cronies are purely politically motivated hacks, I get the feeling that won't happen.

My friends, there's a cold wind blowing.

Is anyone else checking the press on this one? It's almost all uniformly bad.

And the award seems certain to open up Obama to criticism from the right that he is too much of an internationalist, putting the importance of global diplomacy ahead of the foreign policy needs of his nation.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/28119.html#

I think the Nobel people knew exactly what they were up to, and they have wittingly put Obama in a tough spot. There's already plenty of people - people who actually voted for the man - who have finally begun to fully realize that he is idealistic, inexperienced, and lacks those tough, decision-making leadership skills co-requisite for the presidency... and that their vote was probabloy a mistake.

Now, I sincerely hope Obama "man's up" and refuses the award. I hope he's as embarrassed for getting it as we are, as a nation (and the press on this is quite clear), for him being the honoree.

Quoted from article:

"I wonder if any commentator, anywhere on the political spectrum, will offer a genuine straight-faced defense or case for this prize. Whoever does will no-doubt win next year's Nobel Prize for literature."

That is one hilariously truthful statement.

I agree that this prize was absolute bs. Obama needs to look himself in the mirror and realize that he hasn't done jack. He needs to decline this, but I'm sure he won't.

Also, can Obama really see his image in the mirror? I mean...he is quite adept at sucking the life out of things...

I for one am thrilled that Obama hasn't actually done anything. I hope he continues to do nothing for 3 1/2 more years, then exits the public arena forever. 'Nothing' is the least terrible thing we can hope for from this guy. He should get the nobel prize for economics if his doing nothing stops him from destroying the US an world economies with his hand-out, welfare, communist agenda.

Good analogy, pgg.

You know, I always think of the Nobel prize as being awarded to someone who's made a breakthrough in the area where the prize is being awarded.

I have to believe, especially with Algore in '07, that this particular prize reflects the political agenda of a group of ultra-liberal opinion-mongers concerning their belief about how the world should be.

What worries me is that Obama will now feel that he has to "live up to" this prize. In that way (and as I said above), I believe the Nobel committee knew exactly what they were doing.

Furthermore, there's way too much emphasis, overall, on pomp and circumstance in this world. It's one thing to be quietly recognized for achievement, the so-called unsung heroes who take simple satisfaction in their accomplishments, by a boss, a friend, or a work colleagues. It's another thing for people to be bestowed awards for what is tantamount to mediocrity. There have been experiments done in children (of all study groups) where they've shown that even kids know when they're being bullsh*tted when they're given awards for something that they didn't really deserve (I'll try to dig some of those up when I get some time).

What we have here, in no other terms, is the Nobel committee trying to harness and abuse the "Hawthorne effect" by putting it into real practice.

Many of us see this award for exactly what it is. And, many of us are worried about its ramifications on world politics.

You might be on to something.

If anything, I would think the National Democratic Party's symbol would be the Prius. Maybe they cost too much?

Or, cost is the concern, right? Then, you're right, it's the Kia Rio.

If price is your only concern, and you want the absolute cheapest new car available in America, it's the Korean-made Kia Rio, which starts at $10,890.

http://www.forbes.com/2008/07/16/america-cheapest-cars-forbeslife-cx_jm_0716cars.html

But, cost really isn't the concern, though, is it? They'll just figure out a way to tax people in the highest bracket, create a government mandate that everyone has to buy one, institute a boondoggle program like "cash for klunkers" forcing everyone to trade in their perfectly good car, and then provide one to everyone anyway whether they can afford it or not. All of this will be done in the name of "stimulating the economy", and maybe next year Obama will get the Nobel Prize in Economics.

Uh oh, I thought I had logged in to an anesthesia forum, but it turns out I'm on a RNC forum....

Just kidding. I don't think Obama deserved the award, even though I voted for him. That said, what I'm hearing a lot on this board is that A) Obama hasn't done anything yet, and B) Obama is ruining our country. Seems mutually exclusive. Also, I'm pretty sure no one's quality of life is worse now than it was 8 months ago, even if some people's testicles have drawn up a little over what they think health care reform will do to them.

Maybe he'll earn it, maybe he won't. If he does, the Nobel committee will look like geniuses. If he doesn't, they'll look stupid. Either way, life will go on.

 

[nlax30]

Maybe he'll earn it?? That's the problem here, you don't get an award on the presumption that you'll earn it at some point in the future. Clearly politically motivated by the selection "committee". Oh well.

Actually, I'm really not too upset that he received it because I think it's going to be a tough sell for anyone to honestly defend this decision/award. Even for supporters I have a hard time seeing how they can rationalize it. With Al Gore it was all about the environment and if you didn't agree with it then you were somehow anti-environment or a global warming denier.

No no no.
A) He hasn't done anything. He didn't do anything to warrant being nominated for president either, he didn't do anything worth ghost-writing an autobiography, he didn't do anything to get nominated to run for senate for that matter. This guy has a long history of getting far on doing nothing.
B) He WANTS to ruin the country sure, but I don't think anyone thinks he is ruining it, yet... He's happy to harm 90% to give hand-outs to 10%. He thinks stealing from Peter to pay Paul to sit on his as* is 'fair'.

Don't forget the Democrat debates. Obama was asked about the capital gains tax and its inverse relationship to revenue and "Why raise it at all?" Obama says, "I would look at raising the capital gains tax for the purposes of fairness." To him, it doesn't matter that it brings in less money, he's more concerned with stealing/distributing weath.
In the same way, he doesn't care about producing financial harm to millions in future generations, as long as he can buy votes by giving hand-outs today.
